The Quiet One
The Quiet One
I'm the girl with the dark brown eyes
You don't notice the pain my smile belies
I'm not in your circle, I'm a friend of none
You only know me as...the quiet one
With each passing day, I've learned to accept
That no one will know of these secrets I've kept
I want to be brave, but I've nowhere to run
What would you expect from...the quiet one
I scream in silence, for there's no one to hear
You pass me in the hall, unaware of my fear
There's no escape, until my sentence is done
How do you think I became...the quiet one
**Dedicated to survivors of incest everywhere
